I Understand

The thought hit Ryu like a ton of bricks. With his Pupils fully unsealed, he could suddenly sense the vast emptiness waiting for him ahead. In a lot of ways, it was even more vacuous and heart rending than a normal pit of despair. 

With Pupils that opened up the path of your Dao for you, you might never step into the Sky God Realm. But, what would happen with Pupils like Ryu's own? 

Technically speaking, the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth Pupils were completely open ended, or so it seemed. It could help Ryu to comprehend anything he wanted, whenever he wanted. There was no element or affinity he wouldn't be able to master so long as he put his mind to it. 

This sounded great. But… Ryu suddenly felt a looming danger up ahead. It wasn't the kind of danger that would reap his life, but it was rather his eyes opening up to a realization that things just weren't what they seemed.
